In Liberia where the deadly disease
is really spreading, relatives of Ebola victims have started dumping infected
bodies of their loved ones in the streets of Monrovia for fear of catching the
deadly disease, defying government order to leave the relatives at home.
Liberia’s Information Minister,
Lewis Brown, told Reuters that this act is putting more people at risk
“They are removing the
bodies from their homes and are putting them out in the street.They’re exposing
themselves to the risk of being contaminated. We’re asking people to please
leave the bodies in their homes and we’ll pick them up.’
Usually when a relative is found to
be infected with the Ebola virus, government quarantines the rest of the
family. Minus catching the disease, this is another reason relatives are
dumping bodies in the street, to avoid facing quarantine, and having their
homes decontaminated. See more pics after the cut. continue...
